twice the bacon and twice the ham, baby!
you cant go wrong with two** and if its too much.. then there will be a lot of friends circling around. or dog food. we went thru 78lbs of ham last year without even breaking a sweat.
and the bacon was gone in a flash. go bacon!
** being herd animals they probably will be happier with a friend. if anything they will do less damage alone. BBH had just one and it worked out for her and her pig was enormous!

Mmmmmmm.....ham!
I wonder how they get by selling the stuff in stores as "ham". All the real ham I've every had is that glorious red stuff that's juicy and smells good and doesn't tastes like a salt lick.
Ok, two pigs it will be (shhhh....don't tell hubby.)
I hope my book tells me how much room I can get away with for them. Only got an acre here, and though less lawn to mow is good, I don't think we need to start hosting mudbogs here!

whooot! see! you'll have them paid for with all that 4wheelin! ha ha!
we laughed at the store the other day (we are totally giving the butcher guy a complex). they had 3lbs ham steaks for $13.
HA! while we still have to get ours done at a custom butcher, cured and smoked they were $1/pound.
oh golly all that hammy goodness will be yours soon....
